This conversation with Sarah and Abby explore the challenges and emotions involved in ending a therapeutic relationship.
Sarah and Abby discuss the how, at times, ending your relationship with your therapist can be intense and share discomfort associated with the terminology used to describe the process. They share personal experiences of parting ways with therapists and offer insights into navigating these transitions including the fear of termination sessions and the people-pleaser dilemma.

They emphasize the importance (on the therapist's side) of creating a safe space for open communication and provide suggestions for different ways to end a therapist relationship. They discuss recognizing patterns in ending relationships and the possibility of shifting and transforming therapeutic relationships. The fear of finding another therapist is addressed, and the hosts encourage embracing the awkwardness of therapy as a means of growth and self-discovery.

Takeaways

  • Ending a therapeutic relationship can be intense and uncomfortable, but it is a normal part of the therapeutic process.
  • The terminology used to describe ending a therapy relationship, such as 'termination,' can feel intimidating and intense.
  • There are various reasons for parting ways with a therapist, including logistical issues, a lack of fit, or personal growth.
  • It is important to create a safe space for open communication and to be honest about one's needs and concerns in the therapeutic relationship.
  • Ending a therapy relationship does not necessarily mean the end of therapy altogether; it can involve shifting or transforming the therapeutic dynamic.
